SUMMARY Changing font/size when printing with 'lp' ?

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Well, as always, there's more than one way to do it:

The answers to my question came from the following people:

Ian Camm <ian.camm@sde.eu.sony.com> who suggested using 'enscript'

Waghode Sanjay <SWaghode@caxton.com> who supplied the following command line:

>Hi ,
>Try this , you can reduce or increase these parameter for font size , line
>spacing , no of lines .
>lp -dPrinter -olandscape -ofs -ofp12.6 -ovsi5.7 -otl66 FileToPrint
>

Matthew Mauzy <matthew_mauzy@unc.edu> who suggested the following excellent
solution:

Try '/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint -x0.5 -s10' The -x sets the left
margin and -s is the font size.

"John Saalwaechter" <saalwaechter_jw@hotmail.com> who improved on the
above with:

And last, but not least, myself. :) Through some further digging, the
solution I ended
up using was the excellent utility 'a2ps'

Kindest regards to everyone,
